Email Marketing

Brother Mailer

We use Brother Mailer to engage with our customers via email. A customer may subscribe to our email via a) the checkout process b) create an account/register c) contact us forms and d) sign up to newsletter. A customer subscribes to the email by opting in and agreeing to receive future emails. The data collected includes a) Full name b) email address c) mobile number d) order history and e) abandoned baskets. There is an UNSUBSCRIBE link at the top of all our emails so that you can unsubscribe from our email database at any time.

Brother Mailer was mostly compliant with the GDPR before 2018 and the following minor changes were made to fully comply with the new regulations.

Deleted contacts will be placed in a recycle bin, where they will stay for 30 days, during which time you can reinstate them. After 30 days, they will be permanently deleted, and no information will be stored on them. In order to comply with the GDPR, Brother Mailer have now added an option to delete suppressed users, in order to comply with the “right to be forgotten” rules.

Supressed contacts in Brother Mailer are those we cannot send email, they may have unsubscribed, or previous emails have bounced. When a contact has been supressed, Brother Mailer does not remove the data which has been collected about that particular subscriber. In order to comply with the GDPR, Brother Mailer has now added an option to delete suppressed users, giving us the ability to comply with the “right to be forgotten” rules. When we delete a suppressed contact however, Brother Mailer will not delete their email address, so that they can continue to suppress the contact and prevent us from emailing them in the future.

Brother Mailer’s Data Export has been updated also, which now allow us to export individual contacts, whereas previously we could only export whole address books. This means we can now download a zip file with all data held on a particular contact, which will be in a format suitable for and GDPR “Subject Access Requests” that we may need to fulfil. Any data stored in other parts of BrotherMailer, such as their survey tool, will need to be exported separately. All of these exports will be stored for 7 days in our export area.

Personalisation

Nosto Personalisation:

We record all activity on our website with Nosto, our personalisation engine, which allows us tailor the offers displayed to you based on products and categories that you have shown an interest in on our website.

We use Nosto to personalise our customers shopping experience. Once a customer has completed an order we use Nosto to send them a personalised follow up email using the data collected during the order process.

Nosto will also use the information that a customer enters prior to check out to send the customer an abandoned cart email with links to all the products that they had in their basket – this allows them to make the order quickly if they change their minds. Nosto also use this information to send follow up emails.

5. Cookies and IP Address

Cookies are small files which are stored on a user's computer. They are designed to hold a modest amount of data specific to a particular client and website, and can be accessed either by the web server or the client computer. This allows the server to deliver a page tailored to a particular user, or the page itself can contain some script which is aware of the data in the cookie and so is able to carry information from one visit to the website (or related site) to the next.

Cookies by themselves cannot be used to discover the identity of the user and they do not damage your computer. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. This enables you to decide if you want to accept it or not.

To collect the anonymous data in the future temporary "cookies" that collect the first level domain name of the user (for example, if your e-mail address is "johndoe@yourmail.com”), the cookie collects the "yourmail.com" portion of your e-mail address and the date and time you accessed this website may be used.

IP address may also be used to help diagnose problems with this website's server and to administer this website. An IP address is a numeric code that identifies your computer on a network, or in this case, the Internet. Your IP address is also used to gather broad demographic information, such as determining visitors’ location and time visits.

As part of our efforts to provide you with a more personalised experience, we may occasionally email you offers or reminders based on your shopping preferences. If you would like to opt-out of this service, you can either unsubscribe to our email or email your opt-out intention to sales@mcguirksgolf.com.
